What do you mean with "consistent definition of key bindings".
I have been an regular user of org, and I have already forgotten that
S-up/down does priority change after one month's break.
I have been trying very hard to make the key bindings as logical
as possible - but there is a huge amount of commands in org,
and many keys are needed.
That said, the S-up/down for priorities does leas to a couple
of inconsistencies, in particular between agenda and org-mode buffers.

I know it is difficult to come up with good key bindings for so many
commands that org-mode has. That's why I gave the example of vc, which
has extremely excellent key bindings. I would never have to learn them
a
second time. I hope someone can come up with something similar for org.
Well, this is not really a fair comparison, because vc has maybe 13
commands??? Sure, not too hard to make these stick in your head.
Obviously I have been trying to make the best key bindings I can.
Besides making them easy to remember you are of course limited
by Emacs conventions, and by the wish to avoid 3 keypress bindings for
speed. And maybe some compromises because of the historical
development, to keep the habits of users.
I am certainly open for suggestions.
